Doing some web browsing and a screen came up saying that Firefox was using too much space. How can I fix this?

I have found the message useful as a reminder to restart Firefox soon, because of it I am a lot more likely to restart Firefox if leave the room so it will have been restarted automatically by the time I get back. It is measuring memory, but once my CPU time gets near 50 minutes it may soon be 1 hour then 2 hours, I think Firefox is running better now both because Firefox has identified some problems and because of the reminder from AVG.
I wouldn't advise disabling the warning, and I don't think anyone on the AVG forum thread would be doing it either but here is their own thread:
- Web Browsers High Memory Usage
Firefox can be quickly restarted with an extension that shuts down Firefox, restarts Firefox, and returns user to where they were automatically. "Restartless Restart" for current Firefox users. Firefox users up to Firefox 3.6.* would have to use the older extension "QuickRestart"
